Harrisburg University opened its new practice facility for its varsity esports program today with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The Storm's practice center will include 30 gaming computers and host the team's scrimmages going forward. The university said in a statement it also plans to bring high school teams in for tours of the space and "hopes to offer video game and esports camps for rising and hopeful esports stars" in the future. In all, Harrisburg now has 174,000 square feet of space dedicated to its esports teams, according to the university. “This is truly a campus and community effort,” Harrisburg president Eric Darr said in a statement. “We believe that Harrisburg will be the esports hub in the Northeast; we’re already seeing the local and larger esports community embracing it."
